Everyone - and I repeat, everyone - seems to be running marathons right now. And if, like me, you tuned into this year's London Marathon and felt a wave of adrenaline, motivation and euphoria running through your veins, you're not alone.
Despite being what I'd term a recreational runner (by which I mean, I've run one marathon and a handful of halves/10ks/weekly 5ks), over the past few years, I've run less and less, for reasons too varied and lengthy to go into. But the build-up to this year's London Marathon (MC UK's Senior Health Editor, Ally, referred to it as London Fashion Week for runners, and it's stuck with me) got me thinking: what if we could harness the magic of that 26.2 but in a different way, to make it more accessible to all?
